At the White House, a would-be assassin menaces the president. Meanwhile, Wolverine searches for answers to his mysterious past. Back at Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, Professor Xavier pays a visit to the imprisoned Magneto. Soon allies and enemies alike will unite to defeat the hate-filled William Stryker, who wants to rid the world of mutants. When Stryker launches a ruthless two-pronged attack that leaves the school under siege and Xavier and Cyclops captured, Wolverine and the remaining X-Men must spring to action to save their friends and prevent all-out genocide.

Critics' reviews
  • "Brisk and involving with a streamlined forward propulsion, it's the kind of superhero movie we want if we have to have superhero movies at all."
  • "This movie lets the characters and tropes borrowed from the original Stan Lee comic live and breathe."
  • "As in the first movie, Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart are trotted out periodically to add a little gravitas."
  • "There are simply too many characters to get a handle on, and the sheer proliferation of special effects offers Singer a license so unfettered that most of the mutants act not according to their natures"
  • "A sleek, rousing contraption, a comic-book movie with a sense of playfulness, a welcome streak of humor and just the right touch of gravity."
  • "Funny, reasonably crazy, and unpretentiously faithful to its source."
  • "An altogether more viscerally engaging film, from its relentless pacing and slam-bang effects work to the fine, appropriately heroic score by John Ottman"
